Blackberry and Almond Clafoutis
Adapted from Gourmet Traveller
Serves 6

• 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
• 2 eggs
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100g caster sugar
• 70g almond meal
• 10g plain flour
• 125g blackberries, fresh or frozen
• 100g almonds, coarsely chopped

In a bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract until well combined, then whisk in sugar, almond meal and flour and rest for 30 minutes to allow mixture to settle.

Preheat oven to 180C°C (350°F). Divide blackberries between 6 shallow 1-cup capacity lightly greased and sugar-dusted ovenproof dishes. Pour the batter over berries and scatter with chopped almonds. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden, but still creamy in the center. Stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
